Painting after the fact is a little difficult. I'd take it to the shop so itd be after the fact. They just paint the flares? even though theyre bumpy and textured? I have a hard time believing that. How do they prep the flares? 04-11-2013, 09:15 PMJK Enthusiast

Start a thread in the wanted section with the color you're looking for, I'm sure you can get a set shipped for under $200 04-12-2013, 02:25 AMJK Enthusiast

I like the color contrast. That and when I do go to trim them I'm not worried about paint. 04-12-2013, 05:58 AMJK Freak

experience, paint won't stick to the textured flares. It will scrape off easily. Super Moderator

They would have to be sanded down, primed, and a flex agent added to the paint. 06-29-2013, 07:24 AMJK Newbie

I would also say that there will be ones for sale pretty regularly....i know they will be one of the first things i take off when i start my build up. 06-29-2013, 09:28 AMJK Junkie

The shipping on a couple of fenders is stupidly expensive, I couldn't imagine all 4 of them without someone taking a bath on shipping. Sent from my DROID4
